Fotolog slogan of the year: Thanks for your patience. If I read that one more time I will puke ...

There doesn`t seem much left to say. I had a lot of fun during my year and a quarter with Fotoflop. But since this site became a company instead of something people cared for personally, I also got frustrated with the crappy service way too often. Before I could tolerate it a lot better because I didn`t pay for a service but "donated" to a fun cause instead.

After only 1573 attempts in the last 3 days I finally managed to skim my archive down from 74 pages to only 4 (even if Fotolog says I have 5). That way I realized more clearly what had happened here and how my relationship with this site slowly turned from being one of it`s biggest supporters to someone who only shrugs her shoulders and moves on.

I can very well understand why some of you still love Fotolog so much. Only after having moved to a different site I realized how many serious flaws I had kept up with for way too long. Again: I am thankful for the strange fundraiser that forced me to look for a different site.

Please "forward my mail" to the address shown in the linklist. Thank you and take care - and please don`t ever thank me "for my patience"! There are lots of expressions much less hollow and more heartfelt than that meaningless phrase.

And Elke: There is no need to send me sugary sweet emails again. I fell for it once, but I won`t anymore. Thanks for your ...

Oh Hugo, if you only knew how much *MORE* fun I have at Flickr ... Sure, Fotolog was good for a while. But Flickr is *MUCH* better in so many ways! Once you get used to it, you won`t turn back anymore - and close to 500 of the best Fotologgers can tell you the same.I discovered RSS feeds (no more missing comments!), groups that actually don`t have porn in them on a regular base, I can organize my pictures the way I like them, I can assemble favorite pics of other people, I see exactly howmany
people visited each and every one of my pictures, I can backtrack my comments, I can send private messages, discuss, chat, comment without any failure at all - in short, I am completely happy with my new cyberhome!I`m afraid you won`t even see this message, unless you come back over here and check. Oh my, I just now noticed how much easier my life became in the last 2 month. And in a way I am thankful that Fololog became such a nuisance - otherwise I would have never experienced how nice
andfree of frustrations life in cyberspace can be! ;-)

help me cheer up andy.....he is suicidal. poor thing. his last day at work is tomorrow. bless his heart. :(<A HREF="http://saymail.sympatico.ca/service/RetrieveCard?id=vnMCV85e2rgheCT4fhVhba" TARGET=_top>http://saymail.sympatico.ca/service/RetrieveCard?id=vnMCV85e2rgheCT4fhVhba</A>

Well, more than 300 of us (at this moment) find flickr a lot faster than Fotolog - leave alone all these little perks that make a photographer`s heart beat a lot faster ;-)Most of my friends are over there now and the community is even more rewarding then it was here. Just my impression. Take care, John.

I`m with you, panda. My first year of gold camera is up now. I`ve taken the plunge and both my son and i have commited to flickr for a year. I`m, sorry to leave but I have no "patience" left.<A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bosquetango/" TARGET=_top>http://www.flickr.com/photos/bosquetango/</A>

Flickr is only confusing until you really try it, Jef. The admins over there listen to all our sugestions and react extremely fast - unheard of in Fotolog! Maybe you should check it out again, it`s changed a lot. Your features are accessable fromthe bottom of every single page now :)But I agree, Fotothing is not bad either. Again: it`s run by someone who listens and reacts. What more does one want?

I agree with your opinion of fotologI`ve joined Flickr alsoIt always takes me a long time to get used to a new placeAs soon as I learn my way around Flickr, I will be canceling my gold cameraI even got cable modem thinkingthat would help to navigate fotolog, but that was a waste of moneyeven cable modem cannot open a page that is screwed up, which most of fotolog is now, it seemsSo I look forward to seeing you on FLickr!!
